(13) Noise disturbances. Any sound which (i) endangers or <br />injures the safety or health of humans or animals; or (ii) <br />annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of normal sensitivities; <br />or (iii) endangers or injures personal or real property. <br /> <br />(14) Noise control officer. Any police officer or designee of <br />the City Manager (hereinafter "officer"). <br /> <br />(15) Real property boundary. An imaginary line along the <br />ground surface and its vertical extension, which separates the <br />real property owned by one person from that owned by another <br />person, but not including intra-building real property <br />divisions. <br /> <br />(16) Residential area. As defined in the zoning ordinance. <br /> <br />(17) Sound. An oscillation in pressure, particle <br />displacement, particle velocity or other physical parameter, in <br />a medium with internal forces that cause compression and <br />rarefaction of that medium. The description of sound may <br />include any characteristics of such sound, including duration, <br />intensity and frequency. <br /> <br />(18) Sound level. The weighted sound pressure level obtained <br />by use of a sound level meter and frequency weighting network, <br />such as A, B or C as specified in the American National <br />Standards Institute specifications for sound level meters (ASA <br />47-1983, or a later revision thereof). If the frequency <br />weighting employed is not indicated, the A-weighting shall <br />apply. <br /> <br />(19) Sound level meter. An instrument which includes a <br />microphone, amplifier, RMS detector, integrator or time <br />averager, output meter and any applicable weighting network <br />used to measure sound pressure levels. <br /> <br />(20) Vibration. A spatial oscillation of displacement, <br />velocity or acceleration in a solid material. <br /> <br />(d) Maximum sound pressure levels. <br /> <br /> Where the ambient noise level or sound complained of <br />exceeds the sound pressure level limits set forth in the table <br />entitled "Maximum Sound Pressure Levels" [hereinafter referred <br />to as Table I], the noise or sound complained of shall be <br />permitted to exceed the ambient level by ten (10) decibels, <br />unless the complaint involves a discrete tone, vibration, or a <br /> <br /> <br />
